Four children received some heartening support from a Georgia State Trooper after their parents perished in a car crash.
Trooper Nathan Bradley, 25, did much more than expected, just like the Colorado police officer who comforted a 2-year-old after a similar crash.
The parents left on Halloween night to buy more makeup to enhance their children’s costumes when the accident occurred. The parents lost control of the vehicle due to wet roads.
Trooper Bradley went to the family's home as an investigation was taking place. He stayed there until their grandmother arrived from Florida and celebrated Halloween with the children and other community members. He decided the best thing to do was to postpone telling them about the death of their parents.
“Our purpose was to preserve their future holidays as far as Halloween goes,” Bradley told Georgia’s WSBTV. “We didn’t want them to relate this tragedy to Halloween. We wanted to relate it to November 1.”
The officer even launched a GoFundMe page in order to raise money for funeral costs. It brought in more than $69,000 in 24 hours.
“I care a lot about them and I want to watch them succeed,” Bradley said. “I don't want this tragedy to shadow the rest of their lives.”
